Messages from the presenters: “A group of my friends and I founded Key Club Gabes Coast — the first key club in North Africa and the Middle East — in the summer of 2021. It is never easy to start a club from nothing and with no external support, but we made it! Now, KCGC is a successful club! We achieved so much and will continue reaching new heights with our club. Key Club has built such a tight community that we consider it our second family. It helped us all become the leaders we are today. We will continue serving through passion and make our community better!” ~Islem Habila and Yakine Nawi, Key Club Gabes Coast, Tunisia. |
| Key Club in Wonderland | Did you know there are over 5,000 Key Clubs within Key Club International? Well, these clubs don’t function all the same! From community clubs to virtual clubs to the most popular high school clubs, Key Club service projects happen everywhere across the globe!
